Lea Michele knows NOTHING sweetens up your cup of coffee like a massive diamond ring on the hand that's holding it.

The "Glee" grad was strolling around NYC Tuesday with her new treasure -- as in her fiance, Zandy Reich ... the guy who gave her the OTHER treasure.

We know you're wondering, so ... it's a 4-carat elongated radiant cut diamond. Lea and Zandy announced their engagement last weekend. They've been dating since last summer, when Zandy managed to bust out of the friendzone ... they were pals before the hookup.

The groom-to-be is president of the clothing company AYR -- and his bride-to-be is obviously very proud ... of his taste in jewelry.

We're sure she's proud of Zandy, too. He just doesn't fit as easily on her finger.

Nicki Minaj just got sued by Isiah Simon, an artist who says he's the creator of the inverted heart design -- which is really just a drawing of 2 big boobs in a bra or bikini. He's used his on "I Love Venice Beach" merchandise.

Isiah says he copyrighted the heart-shaped design in 2015 ... on Valentine's Day, of course. In his lawsuit, he says Nicki and Universal Music Group "brazenly" stole his design for her own gear.

Fans can purchase the "I Love Nicki" shirts on UMG's website, but Isiah wants that shut down immediately.

He's suing, not only to block the sales, but also the profits UMG and Nicki are presumably earning

Kanye West has revealed that he "was hurt" that Jay-Z and Beyonce didn't come to his wedding.

The rapper opened up about his relationship with Jay in a nearly two hour-long interview with Charlamagne tha God - specifically with regards to Jay and Bey not attending West's nuptials to Kim Kardashian in 2014.

Charlamagne brings up when Jay said West "went too far" in talking about his family when the rapper brings up his own wedding to Kardashian.

"It depends on how you look at it: if we're brothers, we are family," the 40-year-old rapper explains. "Then it's my family. If we're business associates then it was too far."

He then brings up Jay and Bey skipping his wedding: "Respectfully, I have to say I was hurt that they didn't come to the wedding. I understand they were going through some things, but if it's family, you're not gonna miss a wedding."

"I'm not using my interview to put out any negative things, but I've got to state my truth," he continues.

Then Charlamagne brings up that the rumour that Bey had an issue with Kardashian as what prompted the musical couple to skip out on his wedding.

But West doesn't necessarily agree. "I'm not sure," he says. "I'm past it, but at the time I was hurt about it."

He says he never "addressed it directly" with Jay and doesn't "think the answer fixes it."

When asked if West has seen Jay in-person, he replies:"I haven't seen him, but I can feel him."

​The lengthy interview also addresses the rapper's return to Twitter, his mental breakdown and how he forgave himself for the Paris robbery where Kardashian was held hostage.

Kanye West claims that 400 years of slavery was a choice that black people get to make.

The Chicago rapper is under fire again for making more disparaging comments about black people and his love for Donald Trump. Kanye West popped up inside TMZ Live newsroom on Tuesday to chap this up with the celebrity website’s crew, but things quickly went downhill and folks are now saying that Ye is officially in a sunken place.

“When you hear about slavery for 400 years, for 400 years? That sound like a choice,” Kanye said. “You was there for 400 years, and it’s all of y’all? We’re mentally in prison. Slavery goes to direct to the idea of blacks. Slavery, Holocaust, Holocaust is Jews, slavery is blacks. Prison unites us as one race…We’re the human race.”

Kanye West also said he loves Trump and that the president is his “boy” which is another eyebrow-raising statement from one of the biggest voices in hip hop today. It’s almost embarrassing to watch the below video, but I would urge everyone to watch the exchange and I am proud of the response that Van Lathan gave in defense of the majority of black people who were offended by Kanye West’s remarks.

“I don’t think that you’re thinking free,” Van said. “I think what your thinking right now is the absence of thoughts and the reason why I feel like that is because Kanye you’re entitle to your opinion, your entitled to believe whatever you want. But there are facts and real world and real life consequence to what behind everything that you just said. While you’re making music and being an artist and living the life that you’ve earned by being a genius, the rest of us in the society have to deal with these threats to our lives. We have to deal with the marginalization of the 400 years of slavery that you said for our people was a choice. Frankly, am disappointed, am appalled, and brother I am unbelievably hurt by the fact that you’ve morphed into something to me that’s not real.”

Kanye West eventually told Van that he is sorry that he hurt him. We will see the full TMZ Live episode tomorrow.

Safaree Samuels shared a heartfelt message on Instagram for K. Michelle who is going through a little health crisis.

K. Michelle did not share the full details of her health status, but she recently was hospitalized and it has something to do with her butt implants. Her good friend and Nicki Minaj ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels paid her a visit yesterday and then posted the below selfie and message.

“Saw 1 of my best friends [K. Michelle] the other day and she’s doing great.. ppl think we had sex but we never did anything and that’s prolly why we’re still such good friends,” Safaree wrote. “Cuz she never got hypnotized by the D. but I’m glad your doin well! You should be a voice for all the women out there who are scared to go through what your going thru.. I love and thank you for being my friend!! Heal that RUMP.”

K. Michelle also gave us an update on her health condition while opening up about the dangerous side of plastic surgery. “When I did my procedure I went to a person some of the hugest celebrities out today have used, nothing cheap about it,” she wrote. “I followed the trend and that was 1 of the worse decisions of my life. I could’ve kept quiet about this, but i’m not fake. If I show you the good I’ll show you the bad!”

“I looked in the mirror today and didn’t look like a sexy ant,” she added. “I’m so tiny and cute. And this butt of mine is all mine and i’m still bootylicious naturally. I still have full reconstructive surgery in a couple months for the scars and shaping and everything BUT my doctor is the most amazing and he’s been there every step of the way! If you are going through this don’t sit around and get worse.”

But Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott - still a relatively new couple - are making time for their relationship amid looking after a newborn.

The duo have been together for a year, and on Tuesday evening Ms Jenner shared a pic of her and the rapper in a totally loved-up embrace.

Gorge!

They can be seen on the beach in Turks And Caicos in the Caribbean, where they holidayed recently with friends to celebrate his 26th birthday.

She didn't caption the image - shared with the 107m fans she has on Instagram - but she did include a present emoji. Cute!

Within a little over two hours, the photograph had notched up an incredible 5m likes.

Kylie, 20, then went on something on an Insta-spree - sharing a further five snaps from a recent shoot with the Evening Standard magazine.

During her pregnancy - which she never actually confirmed until after Stormi's arrival into the world - Kylie went on a social-media detox, barely appearing on her numerous platforms.

Good to have your back, Kylie!

The CEO/co-founder of WhatsApp, Jan Koum is leaving the company over disagreements about privacy and encryption.

Jan Koum will also step down from Facebook’s board of directors, a role he negotiated when WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook for $19bn in 2014, according to the Washington Post.

Koum and his co-founder Brian Acton developed WhatsApp with a focus on user privacy and a disdain for advertising. When it was bought by Facebook, he promised users that these values wouldn’t be compromised.

"You can still count on absolutely no ads interrupting your communication. There would have been no partnership between our two companies if we had to compromise on the core principles that will always define our company, our vision and our product,” he said at the time.

However, Facebook has been under pressure to make money out of WhatsApp, which now has 1.5 billion monthly users. Facebook has been taking steps that have chipped away at some of WhatsApp’s values. And Koum has a problem with this.

Koum announced his departure from the company via his Facebook account, writing: “It’s been almost a decade since Brian [Acton] and I started WhatsApp, and it’s been an amazing journey with some of the best people. But it is time for me to move on.

“I’m taking some time off to do things I enjoy outside of technology, such as collecting rare air-cooled Porsches, working on my cars and playing ultimate frisbee. And I’ll still be cheering WhatsApp on – just from the outside.”

In 2016, After Facebook acquired the messaging app, WhatsApp announced it would start sharing some user data, including phone numbers, with Facebook – a move that goes against WhatsApp's values and was deeply unpopular among European regulators, who ordered Facebook to stop collecting data from WhatsApp users and fined the company.

Since then WhatsApp has started building and testing free tools to help businesses use WhatsApp to reach their customers, with the view to later start charging businesses - another move that goes against WhatsApp's disdain for advertising.

According to the Washington Post, which spoke to “people familiar with internal discussions” over Koum’s departure, there were tensions with Facebook over WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption, which ensures that messages can’t be intercepted and read by anyone outside of the conversation, including by WhatsApp or Facebook. WhatsApp executives believed that Facebook’s desire to make it easier for businesses to use its tools would require weakening some of the encryption.

After Koum announced his resignation, the first comment was from Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

It reads: “I’m grateful for everything you’ve done to help connect the world, and for everything you’ve taught me, including about encryption and its ability to take power from centralised systems and put it back in people’s hands. Those values will always be at the heart of WhatsApp.”

A spokeswoman for WhatsApp declined to comment but pointed to Koum and Zuckerberg’s posts on Facebook.

President Donald Trump had a meeting with Bill Gates in March, during which the US President reportedly asked the billionaire philanthropist if he wanted the prestigious job of White House science advisor. But Gates declined the proposition without hesitation.

According to Stat News, Gates, who intends to back innovative scientists financially so they can invent a universal flu vaccine, got Trump excited about the potential of the vaccine, then he asked the President why the position of the White House science advisor still remains unoccupied.

In response, Trump asked Gates if he wanted the job, to which Gates replied, "That's not a good use of my time."

The role of White House science advisor remains unfilled up to this point. Trump is the first president in more than half a century, since President John F. Kennedy, who hasn't nominated a science advisor in the first year of his term. It's unknown whether Trump will ever nominate anyone.

The last scientific advisor to grace the White House, John Holdren, served President Obama for eight years. The science advisor vacancy is surely better filled by a practicing scientist. And Bill Gates is a computer programmer, philanthropist, celebrity, businessman... But he's not technically a scientist.

Following a BBC documentary which laid bare the rate at which cough syrup containing codeine is abused in the country, Emzor pharmaceuticals has announced a suspension on the distribution of Emzolyn. 

Stacey Dash is defending Kanye West. She wrote an opinion piece for Americanewshub and said that the rapper should not apologize for his recent tweets.

“There is nothing more racist than telling someone what to believe based on the color of their skin,” she wrote. “Hate groups organize their entire existence based on this principle.”

Dash went on to say that she can relate to the backlash. “My journey started when I changed my mind on Barack Obama and endorsed Mitt Romney in 2012,” she shared. “I didn’t expect it when the Democrats swung into full attack mode, calling me names like “coon” and “Oreo” for not supporting Obama, who I lost faith in after seeing little to no change for black people in general, but especially those at the bottom of the economic spectrum.”

“Good for Kanye West for standing up to these people,” she continued. “They don’t deserve a blank check, and the days of us writing them one during each election year are coming to a close. We are not victims or unworthy of our own opinions. We are individuals.”

She added that she’s no one’s victim. “I am off the plantation. I’m glad to see Kanye West stand up for himself,” she said. “So here’s the question: who’s the real ‘Uncle Tom’?”
